DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, based on Home Office funded research\, the i
 ncreasing ways that digital technologies are being used by domestic abuse 
 perpetrators to monitor\, threaten\, and humiliate their victims\, will be
  discussed.  Technology-facilitated domestic abuse (TFDA) is progressively
  employed within controlling and coercive relationships and involves a wid
 e range of abusive behaviours including: the use of spyware to access and 
 accounts and monitor victim’s movements\, the creation of fake accounts 
 to harass or impersonate victims\, the use of covert devices and the Inter
 net of Things to stalk victims\, and image-based sexual abuse to degrade v
 ictims. The ease\, availability\, and familiarity of everyday technologies
  means that technical skills are unnecessary to perpetuate most forms of T
 FDA\, meaning these tools are routinely exploited by perpetrators. The har
 ms of TFDA are no less serious than those arising from other forms of coer
 cive and controlling behaviours and physical violence. Offline and online 
 abuse is interconnected and within the context of domestic abuse\, often c
 o-occurring. The rapidly developing specific instances and tactics of TFDA
 \, however\, are often inadequately considered or overlooked in policy\, l
 egislative and support responses.
